Thanks for joining Sarah and me for Meatless Monday today. I am beyond excited to share my new foodie obsession with you today. You may have seen the Shakshuka (pronounced “shack-shoe-ka”) craze all over Insta lately. Yes, it really is as delicious as it looks! I’ve been working on perfecting my recipe for the past few weeks and I am happy to share this quick and easy Shakshuka with Egg Whites with you all today. This post is sponsored by AllWhites® but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.
Quick and Easy Shakshuka with AllWhites®
First of all, what is Shakshuka? An easy and super protein packed dish comprised of eggs cooked in a spicy tomato based sauce. Filled with Mediterranean spices, this hearty and healthy dish is a winner. I’ve used AllWhites® in my recipe as they are cholesterol free, easy and loaded with protein. They have half the calories of traditional eggs.
After a day of running, biking or strength training, I’ve come to appreciate the importance of refueling with protein rich foods. Using AllWhites® allows me to get over 20 grams of protein in my Quick and Easy Shakshuka. I work hard everyday and I want to make sure I fuel my body with enough protein.
How much protein do you really need? Every “body” has different needs. Check out this protein calculator here to determine your individual needs. I was surprised by how much protein my body needs. Allwhites® are a fantastic vegetarian protein source for me and easy to add into so many recipes. See here for recipe ideas.
How easy is this Shakshuka to make? Crazy easy! Tomatoes, eggplant and zucchini are simmered with smoked paprika and Harissa. AllWhites® are then added into this yummy skillet and cooked to perfection. My whole house smelled amazing!
Eat it right out of the skillet or my favorite way-with a big piece of delicious crusty bread. Trust me, you’ve got to make this one. I’ve had it three times this week.

Egg whites are my all time favorite protein. I have tried Shakshuka and love it! This is perfect for when my garden is filled with fresh eggplant and zucchini!
Yes it sure is!
I have never heard of shakshuka but it sounds tasty!
Oh it’s so addictive!
I’ve never heard of shakshuka but it looks like a great way to get lots of veggies in at breakfast.
It’s amazing for breakfast, lunch or dinner hope you give it a try
I just love eggs and this looks like a great way to eat them!
You will love them! I am kind of obsessed at the moment
I got shakshuka just last weekend for brunch! One of my favorite dishes. I do prefer mine with yolks, but I love having egg whites on hand for scrambles and healthy baking!
Love the zucchini you added in this!
I loved the zucchini and the eggplant. I am kind of obsessed with it at the moment. I know you love your #yolkporn 🙂
This looks great! I love packing some veggies into my breakfast.
Me too and I’ve been eating this for dinner too
I have never heard of Shakshuka but this looks delicious! i love all the protein too!
You will love it! It’s so easy and full of protein and goodness. Hope you give it a try
YUMMY!!!!!
One of my new faves for sure!
I usually add protein with eggs, cheese, chocolate milk and meat! I haven’t ever tried this dish though. I might have to try it out but I have some picky eaters so we will see what happens
You can certainly customize to your family’s likes! Thanks for checking it out
This looks delicious!! I love the addition of egg whites – a lot of people say they don’t have a taste but I love them!
I love them too especially in a spicy tomato sauce
It’s so important to track your protein when you’re a vegetarian. Egg whites are a perfect source. This looks really good. I love that it’s loaded with veggies too.
Thanks so much one of my new faves for sure!
Your photos are gorgeous. I need to try this asap! I usually rely on meat and eggs for fuel.
Thanks so much and I hope you enjoy
I must have missed the craze on Insta cuz I’ve not heard of this. But it looks delicious! I use protein to fuel the chaos that is MAY!
Oh I think you and the girls would love it! Easy to whip up and so yummy
I love veggies and eggs together- so tasty! Thanks for the linkup!
Thanks and thanks for joining us today
Yum I love Shakshouka but I hadn’t thought about making it with egg whites. That sounds like it would be even better.
It’s so easy I hope you try it!
Recently fell in love with shakshuka! It’s a great way to toast up and use the day old sourdough and use up veggies, and happens to pair perfectly with wine for a quick dinner. 😉
Never thought to make it with egg whites!
Absolutely! One of these days I need to get my hands on your sourdough bread 🙂
This honestly looks so yummy! I can’t wait to give it a try!
Fabulous hope you enjoy it! I am kind of obsessed
This looks so delish! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for checking it out!
Shakshuka is my favourite brunch dish! Love your take on it!
It’s so good isn’t it?!
I’ve never heard of this before! Looks good!
It really is you must try it!
I’ve never tried Shakshuka before, but I’m a huge fan of egg whites so I’m sure I’d LOVE this recipe! Looks delicious!
I think you would! And thanks
I have never heard of Shakshuka, but it sounds good! I love tomatoes in anything, so I’m gonna give this a try…if I can find Harissa (I’ve never heard of that, either LOL)…is that a spice? herb? (#clueless LOL)
so yes it’s a spice paste/sauce. They usually have it at regular grocery stores otherwise Amazon it to yourself. I think you would like it!
I guess I’ve missed all the shakshuka hubbub on IG, but this looks really tasty! Another must try – thanks 🙂
Thanks Michelle!
This sounds interesting – in a good way! I really never thought of using a sauce with egg whites. I just starting using egg whites and I’m surprised how much I like them!
They are so versatile aren’t they!
Yes they are!
I consider myself pretty diverse in the food department, but I have never heard of this. To be honest, it’s probably not going to be one of the things I try just because those aren’t my favorite veggies, but it does look like it would be some great comfort food.
You could certainly switch around the veggies you use in there. The spices are delish!
That looks so good! Especially with a slice of crusty bread. Yum!
The best way to enjoy it!
I’ve never tried Shakshuka but it looks like I should.
I think so!
this looks delicious but sadly the hubs *hates* (his word, not mine) eggplant.
I don’t think we can get egg whites only in our supermarket. Maybe in the west (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, the Hague) where there is more demand for it from expats? I try to get protein from various sources – beans, veg, that sort of thing. But also fowl (if I’m eating meat).
You can certainly swap out the eggplant for another veggie you all like. You can also use whole eggs if you wish
This looks delicious! I’ve never heard of Shakshuka.
Thanks it really is so delish! Hope you give it a try
Looks and sounds really tasty! My mouth is watering! Thanks for sharing!! 🙂
Thanks for checking it out!
Wow! This looks so delicious! I had never heard about this! Can’t wait to try to!
I’m a little obsessed right now!
So delicious! Love your recipes. Keep them coming!
Thanks so much!
I’ve never even HEARD of shakshuka…but this looks delicious! As a vegetarian, eggs are definitely on my list of protein sources.
Yes eggs are a big part of my diet too and I love this way of eating them
You know I love my egg whites! And you totally inspired my dinner the other night! I hadn’t even read this, but I saw the post image that morning and it subconsciously determined my lunch (which was delicious).
Oh great! Such an easy but oh so delicious meal
I have not heard of this recipe dear.
Happy mothers day to you.
Thanks you as well!
